The right tires for Lexus hybrid models depend on the car: CT 200h uses 215/45R17, ES 300h uses 215/55R17 or 235/45R18, UX uses 225/50R18 and NX uses 225/65R17 or 235/60R18. None of the three tire sets below match those sizes, so read the fit notes before buying.

FAQ
What tire size does a Lexus hybrid use?
It depends on the model: CT 200h 215/45R17, ES 300h 215/55R17 or 235/45R18, UX 225/50R18, NX 225/65R17 or 235/60R18. Check your door-jamb sticker.
Do hybrids need special tires?
Not required. Many owners choose low-rolling-resistance tires, but choose the right size and load index first.
Can I use the NX spare kit as a normal tire?
No. A compact spare is for short, low-speed emergency use.
Will 205/55R16 tires fit a Lexus hybrid?
Not on the models covered by our size data. Check your sticker before buying.
How often should I rotate tires on a hybrid?
Follow your owner’s manual. Many shops suggest about every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
When should I replace hybrid tires?
When tread reaches 2/32 inch, or sooner if the tires are cracked or older than about six years.
Which one to choose
None of the three tire sets match a factory size on the Lexus hybrids covered above. The Modern Spare kit is only relevant to NX owners as an emergency spare. For a fitting tire, use your sticker size and shop for that size, or see tires for Lexus ES350 for the ES family.
